/* kiss-stat --- a utility for getting the user name of file owner
 * See LICENSE for copyright information
 *
 * The reason this simple tool exists is because 'stat' is not
 * portable and ls is not exactly stable enough for scripting.
 * This program is for outputting the owner name, and that's it.
